Finisterre Nautilus 23L Backpack

The Finisterre Nautilus 23L Backpack that rare blend of beauty, function, and sustainability that you don’t often see in outdoor gear. This bag is clean and minimal, with a roll-top design that gives it a nice, modern silhouette. It doesn’t scream “technical pack,” but don’t be fooled—this thing is packed with smart features. The 23-litre capacity hits a sweet spot; it’s compact enough for everyday use but has enough room for a laptop, a change of clothes, and whatever extras you need to toss in on the go.

It’s made from recycled 500D high tenacity ripstop polyamide, which sounds fancy but basically means it’s tough as nails while also being kind to the planet. Finisterre also ship products to their warehouse by land and sea, using less carbon-intensive journeys and avoiding air freight wherever possible. The weather resistance is impressive, when caught in a downpour, the wax-based DWR coating and YKK waterproof zips, keeps everything inside bone dry. That includes a laptop, which can be stashed safely in a concealed back panel sleeve that’s easy to access but also feels super secure.

Comfort-wise, it’s got padded straps and a sternum strap that help distribute and secure the weight when it’s fully loaded. Even after a full day out and about, it doesn’t dig into your shoulders, which is a big win. There are a few thoughtful extras too—like the external bottle holder and interior organizer pockets that keep your bits and pieces from rattling around at the bottom.

What we really appreciate, though, is that Finisterre didn’t just throw a bunch of features at it. Everything here feels intentional and useful. Add in the fact that it’s made with sustainability in mind, and you’ve got a backpack that feels like it genuinely earns its place in your daily routine. Whether you’re cycling to work, heading off for a coastal walk, or just juggling your everyday tasks, the Nautilus 23L doesn’t disappoint. RRP £120
